Al-Nassr will look to cut the deficit to the top of the table to a point when they welcome Al Akhdoud for a Saudi Pro League clash, with kickoff slated for 18:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Al-Nassr are on a four-match winning run in the Saudi Pro League. They are unbeaten in their last 11 matches, winning ten and drawing once. This run of form has seen the surge to second place, four points behind leaders Al-Hilal.
A home win for Al-Nassr will temporarily cut Al-Hilal’s lead at the top of the table to just a point, at least until the leaders play on Saturday.

Al Akhdoud ended their losing run before the international break, beating Al-Hazm 2-1. The win was Al Akhdoud’s third in 13 outings in the Saudi Pro League. They have collected 10 points and sit third from bottom.
